¹V triindvajsetem letu Joasa, sina Ahazijevega, kralja na Judovem, je zakraljeval Joahaz, sin Jehujev, nad Izraelom v Samariji in je vladal sedemnajst let.

¹In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria — seventeen years,

²In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in hodil za grehi Jeroboama, sina Nebatovega, s katerimi je ta zavajal v greh Izraela; ni odstopil od njih.

²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin — he turned not aside from it,

³In razvnela se jeza GOSPODOVA nad Izraelom, in dal jih je v pest Hazaelu, sirskemu kralju, in Ben-hadadu, sinu Hazaelovemu, vse dni.

³and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.

⁴Joahaz pa je prosil blagovoljnosti GOSPODA, in GOSPOD ga je uslišal; kajti videl je stisko Izraelovo, kako jih je zatiral sirski kralj.

⁴And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel, for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, —

⁵(In GOSPOD je dal Izraelu rešitelja, da so se oprostili izpod oblasti Sircev; in sinovi Izraelovi so prebivali v šatorih svojih kakor poprej.

⁵and Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as heretofore;

⁶Vendar pa niso odstopili od grehov hiše Jeroboama, s katerimi je ta zavajal v greh Izraela, ampak hodili so v njih. In Ašera je tudi ostala v Samariji.)

⁶only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, —

⁷Zakaj ni pustil Joahazu ljudstva, nego le petdeset konjikov in deset voz in deset tisoč pešcev; kralj sirski jih je namreč pogubil in strl, da so bili kakor prah o mlatvi.

⁷for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for threshing.

⁸A druge zgodbe Joahazove in vse, kar je storil, in o moči njegovi, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?

⁸And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁹In Joahaz je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga v Samariji, in Joas, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

⁹And Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead.

¹⁰V sedemintridesetem letu Joasa, kralja Judovega, je zakraljeval Joas, sin Joahazov, nad Izraelom v Samariji in je vladal šestnajst let.

¹⁰In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria — sixteen years,

¹¹In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH; ni odstopil od vseh grehov Jeroboama, sina Nebatovega, s katerimi je ta zavajal v greh Izraela, temuč živel je v njih.

¹¹and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.

¹²A druge zgodbe Joasove in vse, kar je storil, in o moči njegovi, s katero se je bojeval zoper Amazija, kralja Judovega, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih?

¹²And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹³In Joas je legel k očetom svojim, in Jeroboam je zasedel prestol njegov. In Joasa so pokopali v Samariji pri kraljih Izraelovih.

¹³And Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.

¹⁴Elizej pa je zbolel za svojo boleznijo, za katero je tudi umrl. In Joas, kralj Izraelov, pride doli k njemu in joče nad njim ter reče: Oče moj, oče moj, vozovi Izraelovi in jezdeci njegovi!

¹⁴And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, `My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.`

¹⁵In Elizej mu reče: Prinesi lok in strelice! In mu prinese lok in pšice.

¹⁵And Elisha saith to him, `Take bow and arrows:` and he taketh unto him bow and arrows.

¹⁶In Elizej veli kralju Izraelovemu: Napni lok s svojo roko! In ga napne svojeročno. Elizej pa dene roke svoje na roke kraljeve

¹⁶And he saith to the king of Israel, `Place thy hand on the bow;` and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king,

¹⁷in reče: Odpri okno proti vzhodu! In ga odpre. Tedaj veli Elizej: Stréli! In izstreli. On pa reče: Pšica zmage od GOSPODA, pšica zmage nad Sirijo! zakaj udaril boš Sirce v Afeku, da jih pokončaš.

¹⁷and saith, `Open the window eastward;` and he openeth, and Elisha saith, `Shoot,` and he shooteth; and he saith, `An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.`

¹⁸Nato veli: Vzemi pšice! In jih vzame. In veli kralju Izraelovemu: Udarjaj ob zemljo! In udari trikrat in obstane.

¹⁸And he saith, `Take the arrows,` and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, `Smite to the earth;` and he smiteth three times, and stayeth.

¹⁹Tedaj se razsrdi mož Božji nad njim in reče: Moral bi bil udariti petkrat ali šestkrat, pa bi bil udaril Sirijo, da bi jo bil pokončal. Sedaj pa boš udaril Sirijo samo trikrat.

¹⁹And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, `By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.`

²⁰In ko je Elizej umrl in so ga pokopali, so vdrle plenilne čete Moabcev v deželo ob začetku leta.

²⁰And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come in to the land, at the coming in of the year,

²¹In zgodi se, ko so pokopavali nekega moža, da iznenada zagledajo tako četo; in vržejo moža v grob Elizejev. In brž, ko se dotakne mož kosti Elizejevih, oživi in stopi na noge svoje.

²¹and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of Elisha, and liveth, and riseth on his feet.

²²Hazael pa, kralj Sirije, je stiskal Izraela vse Joahazove dni.

²²And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,

²³A GOSPOD jim je bil milosten in se jih je usmilil in se ozrl nanje zaradi zaveze svoje z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom, in jih ni hotel pokončati, tudi jih ni zavrgel izpred svojega obličja do tega časa.

²³and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.

²⁴In Hazael, kralj Sirije, je umrl, in sin njegov, Ben-hadad, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.In Joas, sin Joahazov, je dobil zopet izpod roke Ben-hadada, sinu Hazaelovega, mesta, ki jih je ta v vojni vzel iz roke Joahaza, očeta njegovega. Trikrat ga je udaril Joas in dobil nazaj mesta Izraelova.

²⁴And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad his son in his stead,

²⁵In Joas, sin Joahazov, je dobil zopet izpod roke Ben-hadada, sinu Hazaelovega, mesta, ki jih je ta v vojni vzel iz roke Joahaza, očeta njegovega. Trikrat ga je udaril Joas in dobil nazaj mesta Izraelova.

²⁵and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities of Israel.
